    Looking good. Comfortable. Hope you find a well fitting recliner.
    I don't care for the rocking recliners. They tip forward when you are getting up from them making it much harder.
    The one I have now stands me up. Bobs discount has the best buys around here.

    We got snow again, then changed over to rain. Driving ok during the day for the 6 miles I went.
    Nice to have the garage again so I can park the car under cover.
    Wife has the stove turned up to 2. 84f in here now! Burning Blazers.

    There isn't any beast of a stove anymore.....sold that house, "new" place has propane. Getting a good price on the fuel, from what I can figure out.....Ihatepropane seems to agree.

    If it doesn't work out this winter, look for me to be a pellet burner again next winter.:fire:

    Nasty weather here for the next few days. Low of 10 tonight, with 15-20 mph winds. Snowing and blowing. We got 4 inches of wet snow overnight, and then the temp dropped from 32 down into the teens over the course of the afternoon. Now there's ice everywhere. Not even gonna hit 20 degrees tomorrow. 60 forecasted on next monday.:loco: :crazy:

    Not a gas stove.....a gas furnace and a gas fireplace. Haven't used the fireplace for anything other to see if it will actually light (it does). Other than a mistaken 17 Gal propane delivery back about a month ago, I'm still at 40% on the two tanks I have (100 gal each). The original fill-up by previous owner was back on 3/10/14.....I got the full tanks included in the purchase price, so basically got about $500 of gas for free.:banana:

    As soon as the tanks get to about 15-20%, I'm switching companies. A good friend owns a fuel oil/propane company and I'll get the gas $.50/gal cheaper (below $2.00/gal). According to our friend "IHatePropane", that's a real good price. :thumbs:

    Sounds like a no brainer. Do you own the tanks or are they leased?
